Saturday night I attended another "Pink Martini" concert at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts along with my good friend David, Julie and Dave, and Julie's mother Glenda. David and I had dinner first at AZ 88 a restaurant I've featured here before. It's the place that always has ever changing eclectic decor. This years Christmas tree at AZ 88 is made of glass with colored lights inside and as they twinkle it creates light patterns all over the walls and ceiling. You can see some of them in this iPhone shot.
Pink Martini put on a fabulous show with (for the first time) both female singers, China Forbes and Storm Large singing together. I'll be playing their music for the rest of the month. Oh what am I saying, just ask my friends. They'll tell you I play their music all the time.
That's a very cosy looking place to meet!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas tree is so shiny, no need of candles.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! I gotta check out this Pink Martini. If you like Kate Bush I trust your musical instincts. :)
ReplyDelete(And yes, "Lionheart" is also a great Kate Bush album! I also love "Never For Ever" and "The Dreaming." "The Sensual World" has its moments. I don't have any of the others.)
I think I've become musically illiterate...I don't know from Pink Martini or China Forbe or Storm Large...maybe I'll do some searching on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant looks quite cozy and elegant and the tree is spectacular! Very unusual, too.
Glad you had a good time.
It would be cool to see that tree in person!

Sounds like a lovely evening Sharon and I bet when you met up with Dave and Julie the evening went from excellent to even more so :)
ReplyDeleteI recall that you mentioned Pink Martini on a previous post, I googled and listened to them and liked the music. Think I'll go out today to buy a CD of theirs as a pre-holiday gift to myself,
ReplyDeleteQuite a nice and original Christmas tree! You spent an awesome evening by what I read here.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a different Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Pink Martini in concert. They are quite an act!
Pink Martini, lucky you, and for enjoying such a cosy atmosphere! The tree is pretty cool, I like it!
ReplyDeleteI saw some made of empty green plastic bottles outside a bakery on Saturday but wasn't happy with my pics so I deleted them...
That's a very cool tree, Sharon! I must be out of the music loop - haven't heard of any of these people. Will have to do a You-tube search.
ReplyDeleteYou find glass everywhere you go it seems. Nice centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteA very unique tree! I like the effects of the light.
ReplyDeleteSaw them hear in February, always fun. There Christmas CD is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBack again! I bought a used CD, "Hey Eugene!" Any other titles you would recommend? I like the latin beat on this one!
ReplyDeleteI like that glass tree. Sounds like a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a classy modern tree. I am a traditionalist when it comes to trees, but I do admire this one.
